Chris Rickaby

Hi, my name is Pamela Janek and I am fundraising for a dear friend. Chris Rickaby was a kind soul who is leaving behind a trail of family and friends devastated by his loss. Chris has a daughter, Charlie who will never get to know what a wonderful man her dad was. This fund is for Charlie and her future. With this money I intend to set up an educational trust, I am hoping will help with setting her up for a future without her dad.

Chris proudly served in the United States Navy as a commissioning sailor (with his brother, Scott) onboard the USS Decatur (DDG-73) and went on to become a U.S. Navy SEAL where he was trained as a Naval Special Warfare Sniper, Combat Diver, and SDV Pilot. After his military service, Chris had a successful career in Medical Device Sales and later ran assisted living homes where he enjoyed comforting and telling stories to veterans in his care. Chris found harmony in adrenaline-filled activities such as fast cars and participating in auto racing.
